You are almost correct, but I was thinking of the Moirae, Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos - the Greek equivalents. The Moirae are sisters, there are more than three Norns though there are three principal ones. The Three Sisters who determine human fates are a very common motif in European myth. I don’t know if Chekhov was thinking of them but I would be surprised if he was not.
All honour to Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld! (I don’t want any more accidents).

Thank you! I was trying to think of the Greek equivalent but kept getting hung up on the Kindly Ones who are of course (if I remember correctly) not generally bothered with subtlety (and also possibly number more than three).
The Norns came to mind first for obvious reasons.

I’m surprised no one has suggested an extra large condom.
Seems like that would be a bit opaque and hard to use a phone through!
Obvious, L0ki?

ordered mine after seeing this: for $3, it was an easy thing to try. i spend a lot of summer time in various boats on various Michigan lakes and this would be great peace-of-mind if it worked.
unfortunately, i’ve been playing with it for 10 minutes now and the home button on my iPhone 7+ is 100% useless in this bag. curious how you got yours to work - you infer that it is less-than-reliable, but i find that the bag bricks the button completely…
I did nothing special. It works 90% of the time thru a Ziploc and far far less frequently in the Amazon Bag. Might be your plastic is slightly thicker than mine?
What is this magical device?!
I grabbed one of these before my last Caribbean cruise:

And used my phone for underwater pictures. The plastic worked just fine for manipulating the onscreen camera controls.
I will review the one I have. It works BUT you have to really work it. I think a ziploc bag works better, but not as quickly.
